Winner Stays On - back for the 06

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

A note for new Poptimists: Winner Stays On is a pop duel where two relatively current songs fight it out for yr love. The winner lives to fight another day, the loser is lost to the pallid embrace of history.

Robyn is currently the Winner who stays on, winning by a couple of tenths of a point over Ladytron. For today's match we have a real actual NEW RECORD, in the form of Beyonce's "Check On It", which also features Slim Thug (and whose newness is questionable as it was a bonus track on Destiny's Child's #1s album). Are we sick of Robyn yet? Has Bouncy still got it? Vote here:

[Poll #646703]

"But I haven't heard the songs yet! you cry. Full members of Poptimists should keep their eyes on their flists, watchers and lurkers will have to hear the tunes on the radio or vote on prejudice alone, or something.

I hate to be dumb and all, but like, have the polls closed, or is there, like, some special trick to voting, or is there something Zen in clicking on "Fill Out Poll" and not finding any way to fill out the poll, or what? (Assuming that 9 is high and 1 is low, Robyn gets a 9 for being more punk, while Beyonce gets a mere 7 (though in real life she'd get a 7.5) for being devoid of emotion, as she has been in every song of hers except for that one time she let loose and compromised her Christianity by claiming she wasn't compromising her Christianity. You know, she's as pointlessly blasé as Janet Jackson, though with better songs (usually) and more intricate intricacies. But anyhow, why can't I figure out how to vote?

I think you might be needing an LJ account to vote, Frank. (Unless you don't.)

But if you think Beyonce really has better songs than prime-era Janet Jackson, maybe it's best that you don't ;)
